Question

my94 with std recirc DV, what are the pro's & cons of fitting a VTA DV??? Will i lose or gain any power/torque, faster/slower spool up??
I presume grp N use the recirc, would this be an uprated one though??

Before any DV haters jump down your throat i will put my 2p in. They do not change bhp or torque in any way what so ever. In my experience however when going through the gears a faster spool up is offered. Now someone will say thats bollocks because the scoob is fitted with a recirc as standard. I myself am a bit of a sceptic, but i really did feel an improvement over the stock item.

Prepare for an onslaught!!

If you use ice in your Baileys !! it will give you a cooler operating temperature & make you more appealling to the Ladieees !!

Dunno' about torque/power - but best performance can be had by removing the OE one and blocking off the holes...just need to change your turbo every now and then is all

Iv'e heard you should be careful using carbon fibre straws with baileys as you can get an induction surge causing severe spluttering / missfiring & a creamy alcholic discharge from your mouth.
You have been warned!!
